In an exciting turn of events for Shah Rukh Khan fans, the superstar’s much-awaited film Jawan, which releases on 7 September, has started advance bookings in Mumbai. BookMyShow has opened the gates for advanced bookings for the Atlee film’s Hindi release in some Mumbai-based theatres. The theatres booked for earlybird reservations are PVR: Infinity, Malad, PVR ICON: Phoenix Palladium, Lower Parel and PVR Luxe: Lower Parel. While the shows are available in both 2D and IMAX 2D, the latter is available only in PVR ICON Lower Parel.

The Jawan star was at Chennai’s Sri Sairam Engineering College on 30 August for the film’s audio launch alongside the movie’s cast and music composer Anirudh Ravichander. He will be heading to Dubai today for the trailer launch at the city’s skyscraper, Burj Khalifa.

When to watch Jawan

BookMyShow allows people to pre-book any Jawan show between September 7 (Thursday) and September 10 (Sunday). Since the release date has been set to 7 September, the film will enjoy a long opening weekend, keeping in mind the Janmashtami festival, which is celebrated with pomp and show in Mumbai. Till now, over 3.6 lakh people have shown interest in catching the film as shown on the BookMyShow website.

Based on the available information, Jawan’s earliest show in Mumbai is scheduled for 7:45 am at PVR Infinity, Malad. There will be shows taking place throughout the day, with the last show slated for 11:40 pm at PVR ICON, Lower Parel. The IMAX shows are also available throughout the day.

Morning IMAX shows, from 8 am to 11:45 am, cost Rs 400 to Rs 1200. The IMAX shows scheduled for late hours would cost approximately Rs 700 to Rs 1850. Morning 2D shows vary from Rs 220 to Rs 750 in both theatres. Likewise, the prices range from Rs 300 to Rs 1850 for the later 2D shows.
